the third title defense for Islam mahv is upon us one more and he ties the record two more and no no we can’t do that you don’t look past the other guy not this one I’m going to knock him unconscious and the ref’s going to be pulling me off of him this guy knows that he will not get another title shot again that’s not the plan that’s not the goal the goal is to do it now and finish the story bro this is it for him I’m willing to bet he’s desperate and ready to leave everything he has out there as if he wasn’t already dangerous enough becoming lightweight champion is something that he is obsessed with okay it is a fire that burns very strongly within him Islam maach the near unbeatable lightweight champion defends his title against maybe the greatest lightweight to never win the Undisputed title Dustin porier and the comain event Sean Strickland is back in action and faces Paulo Costa who might have fingers crossed found the will to compete again we’re back on track and headed for a bloody good time welcome to the fighting business okay to be fair UFC 301 was not that bad but on paper let’s admit it not a single fighter was anywhere close to a credible draw UFC 302 on the other hand has a bunch of names you’d pay to see fights you are the definition of weakness again and again and make some parts of f by grow up Sean Strickland Paulo Costa Islam Mev and of course who we have to check this Dustin porier all on this C all scheduled for five rounds and we’ll dive deep into both of these upcoming [Music] Wars thank you to the fight business absolutely amazing one of my favorite new channels going right now Sean Strickland versus Paulo Costa the former middleweight champion who recently and barely lost the crown Sean Strickland returns in the co-main event to face the most inconsistent middleweight on the roster Paulo Costa the narratives around these two have shifted drastically in the past few years and Sean Strickland is actually the favorite to win you know you guys I like C C he’s a funny guy he makes me laugh he’s Pro free speech I like that guy but I’m going to make that dirty Brazilian bleed Strickland’s future as a middleweight Contender was in serious doubt after back-to-back losses to putatan and Jared Kenan year but he got a nice win streak going in 2023 and when trick is declining a quick turnaround sha was selected to headline UFC 293 against Israel and the people’s Champion pulled off the up set not a lucky KO but a five round domination that left no doubt Weidman over Silva bisbing over rockold and now Strickland dethroning Israel the middleweight division was chaotic as ever and now it had a fitting Champion the first Challenger for Strickland was dri’s dupi and the two middleweights had a war at UFC 297 to commemorate the new era at 185 two War for you guys let’s go Canada close and controversial and while DDP was was the winner Strickland had proven his worth at the top this dude was in his prime and beating him was going to be hell for anyone I think Sean Strickland deserves so much credit I could say so many things about this guy I’m excited to see what he does in terms of building his way back up because his style is going to be a real pain in the neck for a lot of these mids meanwhile from his destruction of Johnny Hendrick to UFC 253 Pao Costa was a wrecking ball and he really came into prominence when he went punch for- punch with your old Romero of all people after such a Fearless performance against Romero we all expected him to do the same TOA I will make him cry I will hit him hit him very badly and he would cry like a baby UFC 253 Costa just could not get going you on the other hand should get going to the patreon for a music playlist behind the scene video breakdown and tips and get your name of the video’s credit I mean it’s just a suggestion lots of cool [ __ ] there Costa probably wasn’t on a patreon at 253 cuz he looked like a punching back worse Israel Style on him and after knocking him out I didn’t see when I was there on the cage but I saw now I just approve 100% the trauma likely bro Costa always came heavy Mar VOR we gate was embarrassing you have problem with that he lost that fight and while he won the next his inability to finish a gas Luke rockold was concerning seemed like Costa was done not to mention his inactivity was annoying but I like the version that showed up at UFC 298 he didn’t beat Whitaker pretty much nobody does but Costa showed that he was able to hang with the Elites in a short while after the loss the fight with Sean Strickland was official versus Strickland that’s an exciting one I I like that it’s going to be a dog fight it is going to be maybe Costa has finally got past the trauma of UFC 253 something to point out here this Coman event is set for five rounds Costa has gone five rounds just one time in a losing effort to victori while Strickland has the best cardio at 185 his natural ability is his cardio among you know he knows how to fight well too but naturally he just has cardio for days in a three- round fight given his physicality and the fact that Strickland is usually a slow starter Costa would have had a much easier time but round by round Strickland is going to get better and he’s going to keep coming forward I doubt a single takedown is attempted so it most likely comes down to a battle on the feat both pressure Fighters power on cost his side volume and paste on Strickland winrs Crown the chattis mother [ __ ] at 185 lb Islam mahv versus Dustin porier a long time ago we were promised that Islam mahv was just as good if not better than Habib when he would take over the lightweight division nobody was going to stop him and they weren’t really lying I feel great because lot of people coming thank you thank you brother Islam has been the lightweight champion since UFC 280 where he defeated a red hot Charles Ola by second round submission the way he did it and the fact that he did it to Charles to Li toied the AA around him the next fight however did show a crack in the armor as Alexander volkanovski took the new Champion to the limit in Australia there was some talk about dehydration timing messing up Islam but we all saw what we saw blooded exhausted and hurt Islam was great legendary even but he was not indestructible I want to fight listen both he didn’t get the job done but he pushed him to the Limit that was by far the toughest test of mv’s career the fight was destined for a rematch but it came a lot quicker than we anticipated at UFC 294 V had to step in on short notice when Charles pulled outs a lot of factors were different this time around him rehydrating for 30 something hours isn’t enough he’s going to be stronger with 40 hours you don’t back your skills I don’t get it I don’t get it I back my skills that’s the difference I I really don’t I show everything you’re going to show be patient be patient I show you I show you my power and everything Saturday night no hydration issues on Islam’s home turf and vult was coming in on short notice but again we saw what we saw Islam knocked out the featherweight Champion with a vicious kick to the head and in the very first round cues this cement you as pound for pound now in your eyes not just now I feel that after the first fight I’m a best fighter in the world but I don’t care about the rankings if they put me in the number one I am okay if not everybody know who is a number one Whatever doubt stained his credibility was effectively removed and we asked ourselves the same question Who on Earth was going to beat this guy to answer this question a mini tournament took place at UFC 300 involving four lightweights okay three lightweight and one gr featherweight Justin versus max Charles versus Armen and hopefully by the end we would be looking at the next Contender for Islam but that didn’t happen I mean hallway has business to settle at 14 and Arman absolutely proved his status as the next stop Challenger why I got to take the same risk like I did first first fight I want to be ready and I want to have full training camp but after refusing a quick turnaround to face Islam 2 months after his win over olera Diamond was called and with no hesitation said yes Hunter started texting me Saturday of 300 you know so I understand Armen saying like let me get a full Camp under under my belt let me feel at my best and give this thing my all and I understand that but I just was in a position to where I I can’t say no either Dustin por has always been a victory or two away from title shots throughout his whole career it’s hard to get past someone as popular beloved and entertaining as porier one solid Victory and you’re reminded of how impressive this guy is and why he deserves to compete for gold but when porya was knocked out by Justin gatei at UFC 291 a lot of us saw that as the end of the road for Dustin at least when it came to chasing championships the man himself was not sure where to go but as as he was ranked highly at lightweight he had a position to defend Dustin was scheduled to face a hungry Prospect benois Deni at UFC 299 and on paper banoa was a bad match up for por I would love to face Dustin P because uh he’s obviously the most realistic fight the guy who could mix grappling and striking was dangerous for the Aging lightweight but Dustin wanted to know and so did we it’s so challenge to myself as well that’s how I went about training camp and part of the reason I took this fight it’s like let me see you know you know let me let me show and see to myself that I I still got it he had to face adversity and survive the Relentless pressure but PO he landed whenever he found the opening and at the end B couldn’t take it and ended up as another knockout victim in the resume of this definite all-time great at 155 the the the fight that he took tonight with theat I mean everybody when when the talk first started and every was like oo this is a bad fight for porier that makes you a legend right after his win people started talking Dustin while winning impr rively had only defeated benoa and he was knocked out by gaii not too long ago Armen was the rightful guy next in line but with the champion wanting to fight as soon as possible and poy being available the UFC announced this matchup yeah because I know Dustin it’s not deserve the title F but we don’t have any option right now a scary near Invincible Champion versus a hard earned Contender who knows that this is the last shots head-to-head we know what Islam needs to do clinch and shoot right away and get dust into the ground but Islam has been growing in confidence when it comes to a striking and you know for a fact that he’s going to challenge Dustin on that front and step into the fire if need be to frustrate Dustin porier you need to put an insane amount of pressure in grapple without Mercy khabib did it and succeeded benoa tried to do it had some success but not enough can Islam implement the same game plan maybe but from what we have seen from the champion that’s not how he operates Islam puts calculated pressure and has no problem boxing against arguably the best boxer at 155 I doubt his approach is going to change maybe it should though because you don’t want to risk a striking world with someone like porier especially at UFC 302 it’s been a long journey for the former interim Champion luck skill and concentrated power of will brought him to this final title shots and you know for a fact that Dustin pory is going to fight like hell this is the one accolate that he needs to complete his legacy for Dustin porier this is everything while for Islam this is just another title defense one he is expected to steamroll and well I wouldn’t be surprised if it plays out just as the odds predict his weak point his wrestling and the grappling I have the key for the easy fight I think if I follow the pr if I follow the plans I can beat him at UFC 302 the champion is looking for a legacy defining win while the Challenger is going for a legacy defining cap a long Harding path and let legendary career but with a stamp of gold on it I have been dubbing this uh your opportunity to finish the story do you have any idea what I’m referring to when I’m saying that like where I’m getting that from just because of the career I’ve had how the the UPS the Downs the roller coaster ride the getting title shots working my way back up over and over again like full circle here back at another title shot just it’s an incredible story if I can finish it this way with a fan base on his side strickling needs one Victory to head back to the title picture let me tell you something dude you’re being a weak man if you can’t stack up and make happen we’ll get someone for you to talk to but this new and seemingly serious version of Costa might be a brick wall so the confrontation with Strickland when he brings it we can expect you to sit there and just yeah you can expect fire is this the end of the road for Dustin porier or a step into immortality or will Islam tie the title defense record and once again silence them all at UFC 302 we’ll figure it out [Music] get YouTube your master class editing breakdowns all previous and upcoming videos music playlist downloadable
